Icarus, le Soleil, Désir, et Moi

Oh, how dazzling you are
Such blinding warmth to make me
Deny the bitter cold wind
Oh, how I long to meet you

So I built my wings
On Icarian dreams
And felt that we'd meet
Finally, loving sun

To transcend being human
And soar to your embrace
Made me realize abruptly
That I surpassed nothing

Icarus failed again
Shame on me for not
Building upon past designs
The wax wings failed again

Your enveloping love
Was the cause of my death
It would have been for the best
To have adored you from the ground

Icarus et le soleil
Et désir ardent et moi...
Le rideau se ferme
Sur ma folie.
